Default Re: Startech ROOF SPOILER: Group Buy

It seems to me that a part of this size could be custom produced for much cheaper in the states than it would be importing it from Startech. I am not saying I have the ability to get this done but if any forum members are so inclined it could be a great moneymaking product! And to TVT, I don't know what your capabilities are (in regards to manufacturing physical exterior mods)... and I also don't know what the cost of designing something like the rear spoiler is... however I know of many forum members interested in an affordable rear spoiler OR OEM looking side skirts at a reasonable price! If these were ever manufactured for a reasonable price within the US I would definitely purchase.
Limited market and affordable price don't belong in the same sentence.

With performance mods at least you can branch out to Mercedes clients, but with body mods you are very very limited on your market. Figure about 1% of total models built would be interested in your product and 1% of those would actually buy it.
